The following people should put SERIOUS thought into dropping your training regimine way down.

Seriously, the extra .10 or so towards a stat is not worth the XP you're losing out on by not playing as many snaps:

Danny Coping (Inactive) - 61 energy
Arnold Schwarzenegger - 45 energy (!)
Ronald Pancake - 58 energy
Vinny Willknife (Inactive) - 47 energy
Think Tank - 66 energy
Sebastian Dust - 59 energy
Pietro Maximoff - 62 energy

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to play the game but I think as more about this game has become understood the role of energy and the number of snaps you get as a result plays a bigger factor into the XP you'll get from a game.

Tank has 30 stamina and is always in relaxed training. Not sure why his energy is always so low at the end of the game. I've actually set his play intensity to relaxed for the next game, to experiment and see if the increased snaps are outweighed by a lack of performance. As for Pietro, he consistently plays as many snaps as anyone else on D, so I'm not worried about him. I do play him on hard intensity every game, though, so I leave him on relaxed pretty much all the time.

First off the post within our forum by our owner are not really him, someone got his password and went in and did that. And to be truthful I think it was admin related due to a discussion he started with one of them. Which if this is the case then its pretty sad that he (admin) would do that... But that is my speculation.

Oh and tank another reason your not in as many plays is position... Your not a starter, due to the fact your a starter nose tackle (3-4 Defense) and right now the only d option to play is a (4-3 Defense)

 

[Gon_Trevil]

Noticed we play a lot of nickle. Chris Slay is already our fastest LB and will soon also be the most agile. So maybe once he gains another level or so we should consider putting him in those coverage packages.

That's not true, actually. The 4-3 defense includes two defensive ends, a DT, and a NT in this game. If you watch any of the play-by-play replays you will see that the right defensive tackle is always the nose tackle. The NT position is in every type of defense, due to a couple of defensive tackle abilities being triggered only when you play that position.

I did not look into it... But if that is true I stand corrected! Sorry about that.

No worries, a friendly tip is appreciated either way

Also, IMO we might want to trade Muhammad AbdiCesar. The guy is getting pissed that he's getting bumped down the depth chart for no real reason, and he's sort of got a point. If he can start somewhere else, there's no real reason not to accomodate him, especially since we really have no intention of letting him start again.

Oddly enough, we play a lot of dime too. Whatever the gameplan is, though, it's working awfully well.

Anyway I could get a little help makin my boy Chris Boynkins better? Team has priviledges to view all the stats. I think he's a J-Pep freakish athlete with 27 strength and 22 speed. Isn't a horrid tackler at 20 for a level 5, correct? Any input, my esteemed teamates?

IMO you're headed in the right direction, but using the next few levels to buff up stamina and agility wouldn't be a bad idea. Agility is big for everyone, and especially so for DEs- it governs change of direction and elusiveness.

It puts the ROLB and MLB in the nickel package by default and that can't be changed so really I think you are looking to be moved to ROLB. I have no real opinion on who is specked better for the role but that is something for you and Cav Trooper's owner to discuss.

i was looking at the depth chart for special teams....

someone (i think fnord) really missed something

he messed with the Kick return team, and its made up with mostly db's....it should have BLOCKERS, and like two returners......we do not need db's for kickreturn team....it makes no sense

as for kickoff, the roster looks good, u need speedy tacklers and some blockers to get to the guy who catches the ball from the other team....

the two teams should NOT be identiacl, kickoff and kick return are two separate beasts....

Whatever is best for the team. He has higher agility/speed/tackling, I have higher vision/strength/stamina. I've had 2 ints in my 5 games, which is nice for a LB to get

If Slay is a better coverage LB, then go for it - I've kind of spec'd Cav Trooper to be a pass-rush LB, but we don't blitz much, as it doesn't work very well in this game.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Personally, I think vision is hugely important to coverage LBs, so I'd stick with Cav in the role. Also the higher stamina is better for increased snap count. We don't want Slay lower on energy when we revert to our normal formations.

Good news everyone- I convinced the owner of my DE's team to release him. He's about to hit level 7, so it should be a pretty substantial boost to our team D.

Then I realized that flexing up top-level custom gear for 3 guys at level 8 is going to cost 2400 points. Yikes.

lol, I hear ya. I'm sitting on 50 flex points now Can't do much with that!

 

[BradyFTW!]

I'm sitting here asking myself whether I'm willing to drop 25 bucks to get another 3200 flex points, and the answer is ".... damn, I dunno"

 

[fnordcircle]

Nobody got my password you rubes. That player is just being whiny all the time and when he wasn't getting his way via email he decided to post a thread about it.

He's a useful player at WR#4 who isn't getting the reps he wants but is unwilling to do anything other than whine about it. I'm not going to bust my rump trying to trade him just so some owner can waste my time trying to put me over a barrel.

So I just wanted to **** around about it.

I just don't take a lot of stuff over the internet very seriously, a web-based football game is one of those things.

fnord, great to have u back, any idea that u can look at my previous post on this thread and maybe look over the situation again?

ya i'm in the same position, not only does it take a ton of flex but it also costs like 10k of ingame money, which i dont have because i took a pay cut to keep the team together
